In a disturbing act that highlights the ongoing human rights violations in Bangladesh, a large pile of garbage has been intentionally dumped at the entrance of a Christian church in Chattogram. Far from being an act of negligence, this appears to be a deliberate attempt to attack religious minorities in Bangladesh and humiliate the Christian community.
Worshippers are now forced to walk through filth and stench to enter their place of worship. This calculated act of hate raises serious concerns about the treatment of religious minorities—including Christians and Hindus—under the current administration.
Locals report that the City Corporation has ignored repeated complaints. No cleanup efforts have been made. Instead, the waste continues to pile up, reinforcing the hostile message: “You are minorities—this is your place.”
The silence of local authorities and the broader society speaks volumes. It raises pressing questions about the role of the state and the nature of governance under Dr Yunus’s government. Is this neglect a coincidence—or part of a larger pattern of systemic discrimination?
This incident is not isolated. It fits into a growing trend of attacks against religious minorities in Bangladesh—particularly Hindus and Christians—amid worsening human rights conditions.
Key Questions Must Be Answered:
- Who is fueling this hatred against religious communities?
- Are perpetrators of such acts protected or even empowered?
- Why has the administration taken no action?
- What does this silence say about Dr Yunus’s government and its commitment to religious freedom?
This targeted act of humiliation is a stark reminder of how far Bangladesh has to go in protecting its minority citizens from hate, discrimination, and marginalization.
